Naval runs a short-form podcast at Nav.al and Spearhead.co, where he discusses philosophy, business, and investing. He has also been a podcast guest on The Joe Rogan Experience, The Tim Ferriss Show, Coffee with Scott Adams, The James Altucher Show and Farnam Street, among others. Almost all biases are time-saving heuristics. For important decisions, discard memory and identity, and focus on the problem.

Como dice Naval, las ideas son lo más importante de un libro, y este en particular tiene tales ideas que han cambiado totalmente como vivo. If I can’t verify it on my own or if I cannot get there through science, then it may be true, it may be false, but it’s not falsifiable, so I cannot view it as a fundamental truth.”Coming to the content itself, one of Naval's philosophy is to "productize yourself". Which actually clears the intention of why this almanac came out, he is productizing himself. Maybe he wants to build a brand of himself as a motivational speaker, personal coach, mentor or whatever. There is no fundamental, intrinsic purposeful meaning to the Universe. If there was, then you would just ask the next question. You’d say, ‘Why is that the meaning?’ It would be, as physicist Richard Feynman said, it would be ‘turtles all the way down.’ The ‘why’s’ would keep accumulating. There is no answer you could give that wouldn’t have another ‘why.’“ The Reformed Financial Advisor - A Kansas City Podcast - Creating the Naval Ravikant Book| Eric Jorgenson What habit would you say most positively impacts your life? The daily morning workout. I decided my number one priority in life, above my happiness, above my family, above my work, is my health. To have peace of mind, you have to have peace of body first.

Following your genuine intellectual curiosity is a better foundation for a career than following whatever is making money right now. Meditation is intermittent fasting for the mind. Too much sugar leads to a heavy body, and too many distractions lead to a heavy mind. Time spent undistracted and alone, in self-examination, journaling, meditation, resolves the unresolved and takes us from mentally fat to fit. My definition of wisdom is knowing the long-term consequences of your actions. Wisdom applied to external problems is judgment. They’re highly linked; knowing the long-term consequences of your actions and then making the right decision to capitalize on that.”

You’re a living creature. There are things you do. You locally reverse entropy. That’s why you’re here.” I haven’t made money in my life in one giant payout. It has always been a whole bunch of small things piling up. It’s more about consistently creating wealth by creating businesses, creating opportunities, and creating investments.”

I think a lot of meditation practices put an emphasis on the breath because it is a gateway into your autonomic nervous system. There are many, many cases in the medical and spiritual literature of people controlling their bodies at levels that should be autonomous. To build judgment, you must keep abreast of current trends and study technology, design, and art—and become the best in the world at something. The direction you head in matters much more than your pace. Choose wisely. You can do it just by breathing. Relaxed breathing tells your body you’re safe. Then, your forebrain doesn’t need as many resources as it normally does. Now, the extra energy can be sent to your hindbrain, and it can reroute those resources to the rest of your body.I think the most common mistake for humanity is believing you’re going to be made happy because of some external circumstance.” I think everyone knows it’s possible. There’s a great Osho lecture, titled “The Attraction for Drugs Is Spiritual.” He talks about why do people do drugs (everything from alcohol to psychedelics to cannabis). They’re doing it to control their mental state. They’re doing it to control how they react. Some people drink because it helps them not care as much, or they’re potheads because they can zone out, or they do psychedelics to feel very present or connected to nature. The attraction of drugs is spiritual. Read enough, and you become a connoisseur. Then you naturally gravitate more toward theory, concepts, nonfiction.”

Focus on specific knowledge. Specific knowledge is the knowledge you cannot be trained for. It cannot be outsourced or automated. Specific knowledge is found by pursuing your genuine curiosity and passion rather than whatever is hot right now. Probably the most interesting thing to keep in mind about new forms of leverage is they are permissionless. They don’t require somebody else’s permission for you to use them or succeed. For labor leverage, somebody has to decide to follow you. For capital leverage, somebody has to give you money to invest or to turn into a product.” By virtue of the trials and tribulations he encountered in business and decision-making, he was able to develop a pragmatic yet staggeringly original outlook on life. After years of experience (and prosperity) in the game that we call life, he eventually learned that things like success or happiness are learnable skills—that anyone can learn. Here, he lays out the foundations to build just that. I admire his ability to convey dense and provocative insights with such eloquence and concision and how he never runs out of new, subversive ideas. One way is to have so much money saved that your passive income (without you lifting a finger) covers your burn rate.” Tip: Do not worry about the title. Expect the book to be more like tweets rather than complete whole chapters.I think of happiness as an emergent property of peace. If you’re peaceful inside and out, that will eventually result in happiness.” Another thing: spirituality, religion, Buddhism, or anything you follow will teach you over time you are more than just your mind. You are more than just your habits. You are more than just your preferences. You’re a level of awareness. You’re a body. Modern humans, we don’t live enough in our bodies. We don’t live enough in our awareness. We live too much in this internal monologue in our heads. All of which is just programmed into you by society and by the environment when you were younger. If I saw a guy with a bad hair day, I would at first think “Haha, he has a bad hair day.” Well, why am I laughing at him to make me feel better about myself? And why am I trying to make me feel better about my own hair? Because I’m losing my hair, and I’m afraid it’s going to go away. What I find is 90 percent of thoughts I have are fear-based. The other 10 percent may be desire-based. Money is how we transfer wealth. Money is social credits. It is the ability to have credits and debits of other people’s time.”
